When you first get started in online marketing your are faced with a jumble of terms and words that are new to you. (Shop Talk, if you will.) One of those curious new words might be autoresponder. What is an autoresponder? What does it do? Is it important? And do you really need one?

Since the Internet is all about automation and using technology to make your life simpler, you need to become familiar with a marketing tool that allows you to put all your follow-up on autopilot. That, in a nutshell, is what an autoresponder does. It's as though you hired your own little online robot. That little robot is designed to spit out your pre-written, predetermined e-mail messages to anyone and everyone who contacts you by email.

Basically, your autoresponder will send out your personal pre-written information to anyone who requests it. In addition to automatically replying to a request for information, an autoresponder goes beyond that. It can be programmed to follow up with each interested person on an ongoing basis. And once it's set up, the autoresponder will continue to follow up week after week, month after month and you never have to do another thing.

Your autoresponder will remember which sales letter your prospects got last and knows when to send the next letter. It never gets mixed-up, it never complains, and it will never call in sick.

You yourself have been on the receiving end of many autoresponders, but perhaps you were unaware of just how it worked.

In the early days of your new online marketing business, your opt-in list will grow slowly. (Opt-in simply means the contact has given you permission to send them follow-up emails.) Later, you could become a victim of your own success. When the flood of replies begins to flow, how will you keep up with all of them? Doing it manually would give you migraines of the greatest proportion. You wil be forced to automate your system.

Also, keep in mind that it usually takes more than one contact to make a sale. It could take as many as 6 or 7 contacts for that visitor to truly trust you, and to be fully sold. If you have ever been in sales, you have heard the phrase "The fortune's in the follow-up". It's not just a trite phrase - it is absolutely true. The more you follow up, the more customers you will have - the more customers you have the more money you will make.

In any business, a customer list is worth its weight in gold (if handled correctly). Every direct marketer or mail-order marketer knows the value of their customer list. You need to understand the concept as well.

Many online marketing newbies think only about immediate money to be made online through their opportunity. That's fine in the beginning. But as your grow, you will learn that your immediate customer can also become your future customer for other related products. Don't let them get away. Let your autoresponder help capture them and follow-up.

An autoresponder system will help you build, manage, and profit from your own in-house lists very quickly and efficiently.

In Part 2 of Understanding How Autoresponders Help you Earn Online, you will learn exactly how this works. You will also learn many different ways to use your autoresponder.
